N scale South African Blue Train Lounge Car
thingiverse
No-one seems to make South African n-scale trains and I really wanted one. So I took matters into my own hands and designed a whole set of 19 coaches of the world-famous Blue Train myself. I've uploaded everything you need to build a complete set: Class 18E locomotive (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2844936) Conference Car (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2833029) Kitchen Car (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2834397) Dining Car (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2835802) Lounge Car (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2836933) Club Car (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2838216) Personnel Car (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2839262) Baggage Car (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2840276) Power Car (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2841486) Luxury Suite (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2842658) Deluxe Suite (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2843960) Bogieset with static-display wheels (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2844942) The Blue Train Set 1 can accommodate 54 guests and features 6 Deluxe Suites and 1 Luxury Suite, while the Blue Train Set 2 can accommodate 82 guests and contains 8 Deluxe Suites and 3 Luxury Suites. To see how each set is configured, check out http://www.bluetrain.co.za/train-layout. You'll need a few extra things to complete each coach: glue for assembly, a set of 12x3mm bolts with locknuts to attach the bogies, and a set of n-scale metal wheels if you want them to run. Alternatively, if you just want them as display models, print the bogies with static-display wheels instead. The loco body fits onto a Fleischmann 7232. You'll need some glue and do some sanding or filing to make it look nice. The cowcatcher needs to be glued onto the loco's bogie/coupler so that it can move freely without rubbing against the body. Here are my printing settings: No rafts or supports anywhere For the coaches, I use these settings: Bogies and undercarriage - 90%, 0.2 Coach - 90%, 0.2, a fast enough speed to prevent filament droop over the windows Furniture - 30%, 0.1 Roof - 10%, 0.1 (Infill needs to be high enough to keep the roof flat, but not so high that it becomes too heavy relative to the rest of the assembly.) For the locos, I use these settings: Body, cowcatcher & pantograph - 90%, 0.2 Roof - 30%, 0.1
